“ The problem with having friends was that you might lose them. Or they might get hurt. ”
Having friends was weird . . . but in a good way.
~ Gwenda Bond
I imagined it was far better to be optimistic, to proceed assuming wherever you could that you had cared enough, that you'd made a difference, that you would again. Dwelling on the worst was no way to live.
I didn't mind walking into danger on my own. Not the concept of it, anyway.
Courage doesn't mean never being afraid. We're all afraid sometimes. Bravery means doing the right thing anyway. That's true strength.
